@The-Farmer said in Seeking a better understanding of the bid numbers:

Does the bid system allow you place complex’s or is the bid strictly combat units sea/land?

While allowed, my 2 cents is it’s not advised. The bid is best used for immediate round 1 attacks or defensive purposes.

See what the top players do with their bids to see the current meta.

@Narvik they made us all sign non-disclosure agreements which I think is silly but it was a pre-requisite to help out. I play tested. I didn’t help with design so as for how they compute the game economy or any use of computers or AI is unknown to me. Some playtesters brought their own methods of balancing or rating these things and provided input but that was largely left to Renegade.

I wish there had been more time to playtest. I will say that about Africa and to a lesser extent, Stalingrad.

As for all the other versions and imbalance in general: I will say that it appears that playtesting and balance took a back seat to production deadlines. It appears that the thousands of human playtesting games that you and I would agree need to be done, were likely not done.

I hear D-Day is being re-released here soon. I have high hopes that that will be fully balanced. We’ll see.

@RogerCooper
Yeah. I’m playing rated games.

I’m going to try to narrow down and clarify my question a bit. I’m having problems figuring out how to deal with an opponent who, as Germany, is only concerned with establishing unassailable strongpoints in France and Karelia. Without concerning himself with putting much pressure on Russia or getting at Caucasus for the first 5-10 rounds.
Their MO is to use their planes in France and W.E. to disrupt my Atlantic Fleet logistics, stockpile ground units in France, Germ, and Karelia. To avoid land battles altogether with Germany, and wait for Japan to expand, however long it takes. With a 9 city technical victory being one goal. Although the better players can ignore India and win by getting Kazakh/Caucasus etc.
I don’t lose every single game like this, but whenever I hit the Gold Tier, it seems that I run into this strat a lot and I can’t figure out the best way to proceed.
I’m leary of strategies that require me to focus on attacking enemy strongpoints in any strategy game. But I can’t figure out if there is a better way to break this without just piling on Finland. And the clock is always ticking for the VC decision.
Is stacking Finland a necessity? Or do I just need to get better at everything else, and learn to incorporate a Med shuck and/or a blend of other strategies?
